      Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
      Certain Officers.</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      (d)&#160;&#160;On December 12, 2018, the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic, Inc.
      (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) expanded the size of the Board from 6 to 7 members and
      appointed Deirdre Hanford to serve as a director.&#160;&#160;Ms. Hanford will
      serve as a director with a term expiring at the annual meeting of
      stockholders to be held in 2019.&#160;&#160;Ms. Hanford has not been named to any
      committees of the Board.
    </p>
    <p>
      There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Hanford and any
      other persons pursuant to which Ms. Hanford was selected as a director.
      Additionally, Ms. Hanford is not a party to any transaction, or series
      of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of
      Regulation S&#173;K.
    </p>
    <p>
      Ms. Hanford will receive the standard compensation and equity awards
      available to other non-employee directors of the Company as described in
      the Company&#8217;s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and
      Exchange Commission on June 6, 2018.&#160;&#160; In particular, upon her
      appointment, Ms. Hanford is entitled to receive equity-based
      compensation in the form of an option to purchase shares of our common
      stock, fixed on the date of grant, that has a fair market value on the
      date of grant equal to $225,000. &#160;The option will have a term of ten
      years and 25 percent will vest one year from the grant date, and the
      remaining options will vest 1/36th monthly thereafter until fully vested
      after four years.&#160; In addition, Ms. Hanford, as a non-employee director,
      will receive a quarterly cash retainer in the amount of $15,000, which
      will be pro-rated to reflect the days of her service as a director.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company intends to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms.
      Hanford that is substantially similar to the form of indemnification
      agreement executed by other members of the Board.&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p>
      Our press release announcing the election of Ms. Hanford is attached as
      Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
